FAQs

What is the main purpose of this cultivator?

This cultivator is primarily designed for breaking up and aerating heavy or compacted soil, and for turning soil in garden beds, all while allowing the user to work upright.

Is the handle adjustable?

No, the handle is fixed at a length of 160cm. This length is designed to facilitate upright working for most users.

What material is the handle made from?

The handle is made from FSC® approved ash wood, known for its strength and comfort.

How durable is the stainless steel head?

The stainless steel head is designed for durability and offers excellent resistance to rust, ensuring long-lasting performance even in challenging garden conditions.

What is the benefit of the 15-year guarantee?

The 15-year guarantee provides assurance of the product's quality and durability, covering manufacturing defects for an extended period.

Can this tool be used for weeding?

While it can dislodge some weeds during cultivation, its primary design is for soil work. For fine or dense weeding, a smaller hand-held tool might be more appropriate.

What are the dimensions of the tool?

The overall length of the cultivator is 160cm, with a handle diameter of 29mm.

Troubleshooting

Soil sticks excessively to the prongs.

Ensure the prongs are clean after each use. For very sticky soil, a gentle wipe with a lightly oiled cloth after cleaning can help prevent future build-up.

Wooden handle feels rough or dry.

Treat the handle with a suitable wood oil, such as linseed oil, to restore moisture and protect the wood. Allow it to dry thoroughly before storage.

Rust spots appearing on the stainless steel head.

Stainless steel offers excellent rust resistance but is not entirely rust-proof. Light rust can usually be removed with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner. Ensure the tool is thoroughly dried after use and stored in a dry environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This tool is designed for general garden soil cultivation. It is compatible with most garden soil types, including heavy and compacted ground. It is not designed for use with machinery.

Care: To maintain the cultivator's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove soil and debris from the stainless steel head. A damp cloth or a stiff brush can be used. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
